A BIG CONTRACT

PHILADELPHIA, March IA con-
tract representing over $250,000 for
machinery alone was signed to day
by w. w. Smith, president; Juo. II.

Smith & Vale company of Dayton,
o., and H. G. Butcher, president;
Frederick Oliver and Daniel A.
Tompkins of Charlotte, N. c., execu-
tive committee. as representatives of
the Southern Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany, recently organized in New
Jersey. The contract calls for the
construction of press room machine
ry for eight cotton, seed oil mills of q
capacity of $50 tons per day each,
and the exact price stipulated is
1866, GOO All this machinery, as
256 hnters and twenty hulling ma
chimes, we've contracted Tor with the
Cawer Cotton Gin company, East
Bridgewater, Mass, and are to be
ready and delivered in time to work
up the coming seasons crop. The
contract with the Smith Il Vale
company carries with it all patents
on this kind Of machinery now own
ed by that company, and this, it is
said, gives the Southern Cotton Seed
Oil company practical control of all
machinery by which cotton seed oil
Is made under new and improved
process. Mills are TO be erected at
different points so as to cover the
entire cotton belt and also insure to
the company an unlimited supply of
seed, of which there is annually pro
duced about 100000 tons, and only
about 100000 tons have heretofore
been reduced to oil, the balance hav-
ing in recent years been used for fer
tllizing purposes.

Our of 1872 bills vetoed by Mr..
Cleveland during the recent session
of congress, only two were passed
Notwithstanding the objections OF
the president. And with respect to
one of these two, final action was
taken with the concurrence of the
Executive in consequence of later
information received by him. No
greater tribute to the care and JUS
tice with which the President con
siders acts of congress could be pre-
scented than this.
The Smith railroad bill providing

experiment. A full text of the bin

The Agony over.

On Saturday last the towns OF
Russellvilie and Atkins measured
swords for the county seat Of Pope
county. 1t was "war to the hilt."
The friends of both towns exerted
themselves to the last. Nothing by
either was taken for granted, or left
undone. They recognized each 9th
er as formidable adversaries, and
there was no flag in the fight from the
opening to the closing of the polls.
Even at the closing of the polls, with
the setting of the sun, nothing but
confidence and enthusiasm pervaded
both lines, but when the excitement
of the day bad began to subslde and
the results in various townships
learned, it became evident that Rus
sellville had won by a majority, not
large, yet decisive. We appreciate
the victory. And we appreciate it
all the more because it was won
from an opponent worthy of our
steel"
Notwithstanding the intense ex-
element and tenacity with which
the friends of both towns adhered to
their cause, their demeanor toward
each other was courteous, and since
it is all over, everybody so far as we
know, treats the contest as final, viii
ling to acquiesce in the verdict of
the people, and the most cordial feel
ing prevails.
One unacquainted with the cir
cumstances would have thought Rus
sellyllle possessed a decided adyant
age over Atkins in the contest, but
such was not the case. Many of our
friends in the northern portion of the
county allied themselves with At.
klns, believing that if they could
succeed in voting it to Atkins, that
Atkins would not claim the fruits of
the victory, and that the courthouse
would still remain at Dover, and
they claimed precedent for that in
the contest eight years ago. We
hardly believe that if Atkins had
won this time that she would have
relinquished her victory and re
nounced her claims as she did be
fore, but, be that as it may, it was
an element of strength to her and in
consequence of which she drew hun
dreds af votes. Then again, Russell
vile having inaugurated the move,
ment to change the county seat, very
naturally aroused more or less feel.
ing against her by the frinds of Do
yer. Atkins did not fail to utilize
everything for its full worth, and
take 1t all IN all, the two places were
very equally matched, and while we
won tbs victory, we cheerlully credit
Atkins with giving us lively tussle

take years to recover. The vast bus
